This is what I do for my noncharity quilts too (except no hand quilting). I just got a Janome, though, and am eager to try some free motion quilting. My other machine (a low end Pfaff Hobby) barely had room for me to squish the fabric under as I quilted. A queen was so difficult that I was glad when I pulled it out without major mishap. My standards for that kind of quilting was very low. Basically I was happy if the back wasn't all bunched up :) All straight line quilting as I didn't know how to do anything with the feed dogs in order to attempt free motion quilting.
